Hip Hop Hot Dogs

ByCarma Spence September 5, 2006January 26, 2022

Just had this fun idea for a fast-food restaurant in a story: Hip Hop Hot Dogs.

It is a hot dog joint where all the items have hip hop culture names, such as:

The Yo Dog
What Up Dog
Ho Hambuger

Adrenaline Junky
ByCarma Spence August 15, 2010January 26, 2022

I just found this little story idea from a dream I had in February 1998. It’s a ghost story about a spirit who feeds off the fear and adrenaline given off by people who are risk takers. He, in life, was a risk taker and died in his early 30s from one of his risk…

Just Before Execution
ByCarma Spence April 15, 2010January 26, 2022

Back in 2003, I wrote this little snippet. “Have you ever just looked at the sky and contemplated it’s blueness? I have many times, in fact. I just lie there on the grass, feeling the coolness against my back and look at the sky. You know, sometimes I dream that I’m a bird and can…

Touching Base After a European Adventure
ByCarma Spence September 25, 2005January 26, 2022

Whew! I’ve been home from my trip to Spain and Romania only a week and yet I still feel like I haven’t digested it all. Although that may, in part, be due to the nasty cold that flavored my jetlag upon coming home. I’ve strolled the paseo in Estepona, visited the Prado in Madrid and…

The Quest for the Perfect Flan Recipe
ByCarma Spence April 10, 2004January 26, 2022

When it comes to recipes, I cannot leave well enough alone. No matter how fervently and genuinely I vow to follow a recipe, no dish leaves my kitchen prepared as instructed. This, I believe, is why my quest for the perfect flan was doomed to repeated failure at the start. Once upon a time, I…

Christmas Story
ByCarma Spence March 1, 2011January 26, 2022

I have this idea for a time travel Christmas story. It is still in the concept formation stages, but I have an opening I’d like to share with you …. Gabriel, the lead character, is obsessed with going back in time to see Christ’s birth in person. When he finally makes it, he discovers something that shatters his faith at first, but over the course of the story regains it with a deeper understanding of God and the Universe.
